In this DROPS video we show how to put a sleeve that is worked back and forth on a round needle together with front and back piece.

When you knit on a circular needle and should knit raglan or round yoke, start to knit front and back until armholes. On next round bind off 4 sts for armhole each side (or number of sts told in pattern). Now knit the sleeves, then bind off 2 sts each side (or number of sts told in pattern) for sleeve cap. Then put sleeve sts on the same circular needle where sts where bound off for armhole each side.

In the video we show a front and back piece where we have bound off for arm hole at the side, and then how to work the sleeve sts on to the same circular needle. The sleeve has been worked back and forth on needle.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns using this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Dear Mrs Meier, when a pattern is worked with more than 1 strand of yarn, you should find this information under tension or under the pattern. If you still doubt, please ask your question under the pattern you want to work, so that we can help you. Happy knitting!

Hej,
du talar engelska?? I can give you a better answer in english, I'm still learning swedish ;)
I know this problem, I always have the same one, it is impossible to put the arms with 50 stiches in a hole from only 8!! (I have seen this always in baby designs). The only solution, once you have take off the 8 points (4 at each side) you have to make other 4 or 6 rows straight ahead, in the arms and in the body, then you can insert the arms in the hole ;)
